I had the same issue, and it also solved by just clicking "reset global permissions". There were no change in the permissions that I've noticed.

@PauIinho Were you using a Synced account to some other device with Vivaldi? If so, which versions, and did you make any permission changes there (and which ones, if you recall)?

I was using a synced account on Android, but I've lost my phone last month and could not use sync since.
Even the lot of tabs that used to be in that cloud icon in the corner are gone and I forgot to save.

Hey again !

It started to happen again.
This is the before reset global website permissions:

This is after:

From what I can see, Popups is changed from allow to block and cookies has changed from session only til allow.

Now it works again.

@EldARon Could be a system setting (if in a company network) or extension you have installed in Vivaldi or a security software which changes permissions.

You can check if your browser is managed.
Open
vivaldi://policy
and
vivaldi://management
Are there any?

You can look for extensions in internal page
vivaldi://system and check section extensions
Which ones are there?

@mib2berlin Ah, ok i missed that in the tracker.

@EldARon Interesting; I have tried with the session only cookie setting (as it is the only valid setting that could conceivably cause the crash), but have never been able to provoke a crash (and it is not actually displayed in the permission list in the dropdown dialog). Just tried with your two recorded changes, and still wasn't able to.

It might be of interest to know if you remember making any permission changes on your other synced installations. You might try to run them one at a time, and see which triggers the problem.

Wouldn't call it "fixed"; "worked around" is a more precise description.
